To help answer those questions we put together the following list of definitions for what each degree acronym stands for as well as explanations of the meanings behind all the different terminology. Here's a breakdown of some of the acronyms you'll find out there:
Meniscus tears are a very common cause of knee pain. Tears of the meniscus can vary by location, type, size and the amount of pain they produce. The most common location for meniscus tears is the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The meniscus is a âcâ-shaped cartilage disk thatâs found in the knee. We have two menisci in either knee. We have the medial meniscus on the inner side of the knee and the lateral meniscus on the outer side of the knee.
B) A radial tear of posterior horn in the medial meniscus is indicated by a black arrow. ACL, anteritor cruciate ligament; PCL, posterior cruciate ligament; MFC, medial femoral condyle; MM, medial meniscus.s a result, the radial tear of posterior horn group exhibited the severer ICRS grades than other types of tear group, indicating a predominant involvement of the radial tear of posterior horn in cartilage degradation. However, there are several limitations in this study.
